That is an honor!

I once won a stake at Saratoga and the honorable Elliot Spitzer presented.

Was it the 9 horse that won? That'd make for an even better story.

Two days I've always enjoyed that fly under the radar are the opening weekends of Keeneland each fall and spring. There are usually a number of great races all across the country, especially in the spring with the 3YO preps and the Ashland.

Memorial Day, 4th of July weekend, Labor Day weekend are pretty good, as is Thanksgiving weekend, even though there's a feeling the end of good racing is at hand.

Did Spitzer tell you what trophy he was getting that night?

Opening Day at Belmont in the Spring.

Six months of great racing, and good weather, to come.
